Now if u ddn't know me, acting/drama means the world to me, & This is my final drama GCSE piece, and im going for top marks, im already set for a B, but this is the piece tht is gonna get me top marks.

My performance is a about 2 friends growing up together, best friends, and 1 die's (Im not sure how yet) but is realyl depressed, cause of perants spliting up, now the final scene, will be the bit im hoping the audience get really emotion about.

Its set at the funereal, and the coffin, is in the middle, with people around it but they r in the dark, u cnt hardy see them, and a spot lite on ME , i will be singing a lil bit from "sometimes it snows in april" im hoepping this is going to work realyl well, and make them cry or at least get them emotional.

there is another scene rite at the start where my friend jenny will be playing the intro to "sumtimes it snows in april" i hoping this is all gonna fit together.

the rest of my group really like these ideas, and we should be performing them im 7 weeks.

DO U THINK I SHOUDL USED THT SONG, OR IS THERE A MORE EMOTIONAL ONE THT LINKS WITH OUR STORY ??

sorry about spelling and grammer

Hey you might be able to pull this one off, but I'm thinkin' it will sound just a bit too "cheesey"...

During amateur dramtics, I don't feel you should try and force an audience's emotions because they will usually be reluctant to let you do this. Keeping it stripped down to just what is essential in order to adequately convey the emotion and they'll probably be more willing to go with it.

Good luck anyway.

Good luck andy!

Andy, I tend towards Darren's comments above: i.e. could come across as cheesey. But if it's written and acted well, as it need to be if you are going for an 'A' grade, then I sincerely hope it works for you and everybody involved.

Good luck.

the intro to sometimes it snows... always gets me going, its just great and melancholy, so if you use one song, id use that one. just stay away from sexy dancer!
